Key management is the management of cryptographic keys in an encrypted system and includes dealing with the generation, exchange, storage, use, destruction and replacement of keys. It typically includes cryptographic protocols, key servers, and user procedures. When keys are created in many key management systems, the key typically includes a cryptographic certificate to govern how the key is used, the agency that is attesting for the key, and lifecycle policies for the key.
It is with respect to these and other considerations that the disclosure made herein is presented.
